“…22 Neural mobilization exercises, derived from neurodynamic tests, such as the slump test or straight leg raise test, have been advocated in clinical texts 14,15,37,44 and as a result of published clinical trials. 7,17,34,36,42,48 However, to the authors' knowledge, no previous research has been published that has examined in vivo measurement of sciatic nerve excursion in normal, healthy participants during different types of neural mobilization exercises. Such work would complement previous work performed on the upper limbs.…”

“…Cleland et al and Gladson et al mentioned that when the nerve root was compressed and microcirculation was compromised; and the pressure received by the nerve will affect the edema and the demyelination, neurodynamic techniques consists of short oscillatory movements and was sufficient to disperse the edema, thus alleviating the hypoxia and reducing the associated symptoms [9,10]. It could also be directly associated with the immobilization reduction in the neurogenic inflammation.…”

Neurodynamic mobilization is a set of techniques designed to restore the plasticity of the nervous system and the ability of neural tissue to stretch and tension along with pain alleviation and functional improvement.The study aimed to determine the effect of neurodynamic mobilization on pain and function in subjects with lumbo-sacral radiculopathy.24 males and females between 25-50 years of age having low back pain radiating to any one lower limb since more than 3 weeks were randomly allocated into two groups.Group A received neural mobilization and conventional treatment.Group B received conventional treatment alone.Intervention was given for 6 sessions on 6 days/week.Pain and function were measured using Numerical Pain Rating Scale(NPRS) and Modified Oswestry Disability Index (MODI) respectively.Location of symptoms was also recorded using a body diagram.There was a significant difference in pain at rest and pain during activitywithin each group, but only group B showed significant difference in function. Pain during activity showed significant difference in group A over groupB(U=-1.47;p=0.04) along with function(U=-1.52;p=0.02). Compared to conventional treatment, there is significant decrease in pain during activity and improvement in function following neurodynamic mobilization,however there is no significant improvement pain at rest.

“…Bertolini et al (2009) (20) evaluated the effects of the neural mobilization (saturation) and static elongation at sciatica induced nerve compression in the right member in 23 Wistar rats, in which they were divided into three groups: no intervention, static stretching and mobilizing neural. To evaluate the pain, they underwent the functional incapacitation test, where the animals were placed on a rotating metal cylinder using metal boots, and the right paw elevation time was measured.…”

Introduction: low back pain (LBP) is characterized by pain in the region between the last costal arches and the gluteal fold. It can occur due to several intrinsic and extrinsic factors, and it has a very high prevalence in adulthood, causing several problems which directly influence the quality of life. Neurosensory Postural Therapy (NPT) is a technique which uses manual neural stimulation to adjust muscle tone. Objective: The aim of the present study was to verify the effects of NPT on pain, mobility, flexibility, functionality, cardiac variability and body oscillation. Methodology: Seven women over 20 years old were recruited, which were evaluated before and after the technique, which consisted of pressure on the upper and lower roots of the sciatic nerve at 3 points for 60 seconds. Results: The mean pain score was 2.71 ± 1.38 and 1.35 ± 1.18, with a value of p = 0.02. For the Schöber test we obtained a mean of 21.93 ± 1.36 and 22.34 ± 1.30 cm in the pre-and post-test with p=0.01. No statistical difference was found in the Rolland Morris questionnaire. The electromyography obtained statistical difference in the analysis of the gluteus medius with p=0.02. Significant results (p=0.0001) were found in the lateral evaluation by the stabilometry and the HF/LF ratio showed difference with p=0.03 in the pretest and after 30 days. Conclusion: The technique of NPT has benefits in the parameters studies, demonstration being a fast technique with period of efficiency.
